Who knew that, when the SEC unveiled its new motto last year, that it had a hidden meaning related to a football coachs job security. Turns out It Just M. College Football Coach Hot Seat Outlook For 2. The 2. 01. 6 college football season is over. Here are 1. 6 coaches who look like they may be on the hot seat entering 2. ACCBrian Kelly Notre Dame Notre Dame finished 4 8. Brian Kelly threw everyone under the bus. NCAA sanctions tacked onto a myriad of off the field issues. Reports suggested Kelly was interested in leaving. Notre Dame may have been interested in letting him. Its hard to see this situation being tenable without a big turnaround. Dave Doeren N. C. State The Wolfpack hired Doeren to shift into a gear Tom OBrien did not have. He put N. C. State into neutral and let them roll down the hill. There were moments in 2. The Wolfpack beat North Carolina. They came close to beating Clemson. They are also 9 2. ACC after four seasons. Steve Addazio Boston College BCs offense is putrid. The Eagles did win their final two games to reach bowl play, whatever that is worth. But, they lost by 3. Pad_-_match_engine.png' alt='The Hot Seat Football Game' title='The Hot Seat Football Game' />They have lost 1. ACC games. Addazio may need a breakthrough to stay on after next year. Big Ten. Mark Dantonio Michigan State Mark Dantonio is the best coach in modern MSU history. The Spartans went to the playoff in 2. Still, MSU lost 1. FBS, with wins over Notre Dame and Rutgers. Michigan State needs an overhaul on both sides of the ball. Their best player is leaving for the NFL Draft. Theres no guarantee the Spartans get better. While its hard to see Dantonio getting fired, who can survive two ugly seasons in modern college football Lovie Smith Illinois Illinois invested heavily in Lovie Smith last year, a 5. NFL coach who had been out of college football since 1. The Illini got worse, going 2 9 vs. FBS with wins over MSU and Rutgers. Of the eight coaches who made this weeks College Football Hot Seat rankings, six were at home and they went a combined 24 with the two wins coming against. G/01/videogames/detail-page/madden13.01a.lg.jpg' alt='The Hot Seat Football Game' title='The Hot Seat Football Game' />Smith will get time, if only because it will take a while to whittle down his buyout. Chris Ash Rutgers Rutgers went 1 1. FBS with a win over New Mexico in Ashs first season. Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State outscored the Scarlet Knights 1. They lost 4. 9 0 to Michigan State. Not even the student section was spared. Rutgers down year in the B1. G. The good news is theres nowhere to go but up. Big 1. 2Kliff Kingsbury Texas Tech Kingsbury is 1. Big 1. 2 after four years. The Red Raiders defense remains atrocious. Its hard to overlook losing 6. Iowa State team. Texas Tech has been and should expect to be a lot better. Its hard to see the schools patience with Kingsbury lasting beyond next season. David Beaty Kansas Kansas improved significantly in Beatys second season. The Jayhawks went 1 1. FBS instead of 0 1. Beaty should have to show some progress in the W L column in year three. He will be much cheaper than Charlie Weis to get rid of if he does not. Pac 1. 2Jim L. Mora UCLA Mora has lost nine of his last 1. Power 5 teams. Even when the Bruins were going well under Mora a couple seasons ago, they werent going that well. Quite often, his team just has not looked well coached. Davis Sewing Machines Serial Numbers. If Mora cant get it done next season with Josh Rosen as a junior, UCLA will have a decision to make. Sonny Dykes Cal If Davis Webb gets drafted, Dykes will have more quarterbacks drafted than bowl game appearances after four years in Berkeley. This is a program that has been competent in the past and made a significant investment in facilities to get better at football. Moving on may be best for both parties. One can see that happening after next year. Rich Rodriguez Arizona  It looked like Arizona would struggle to keep Rich Rod after winning 1. Pac 1. 2 title game in 2. But, now, the Wildcats are on a 4 1. Power 5 teams. The 2. Rodriguez Michigan teams productive but inefficient offense and awful defense. Todd Graham Arizona State Similar situation to Mora and Rodriguez. Graham was coming off back to back 1. Since then, he has gone 6 1. Pac 1. 2 play. The Sun Devils lost seven of eight, with a narrow win over UCLA. If Arizona State was stealing signals, the knowledge was not helping much. SECButch Jones Tennessee Everything was laid out this season for a strong Tennessee season. The Vols lost the East. They should have lost the opener to Appalachian State. They missed out on the Sugar Bowl because they could not beat South Carolina and Vandy to close the season. Its hard to argue why Jones should not be on the hot seat. Kevin Sumlin Texas A M Texas A M was 6 0. The Swag Copter was aloft. Sumlins seat was ice cold. Then the Aggies lost their last four SEC games to finish 8 4 and fall outside the Top 2. Doing just enough got Sumlin through 2. It wont get him through 2. Hugh Freeze Ole Miss After a Top 1. Ole Miss took a tumble to 5 7. They lost by three touchdowns to Vanderbilt and by 3. Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl. Significant NCAA sanctions could be coming down this offseason. Even with the young quarterback, things arent looking great. Bret Bielema Arkansas Bret Bielema left Wisconsin for Arkansas to compete in the SEC. He has his moments, but the consistency has not been there. Arkansas is 2. 1 2. FBS and 1. 0 2. 2 in the SEC after four seasons. Just one. 5. 00 or better conference season. Blowing a 2. 4 7 halftime lead against Missouri to close the regular season left a sour taste.
